This experimenter-supplied set of sea ice concentration data was generated by an IBM 3081 computer onto binary magnetic tape. It contains sea ice concentration, i.e., the fraction of ice cover in a 30 x 30 km field-of-view, derived from the dual-polarized 37-GHz channel radiances. Data are grouped in scenes, each covering an area of 780 x 780 km. There are 6 days of data per one or two tapes.
In 1995 the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) indicated no interest in receiving this data set as part of the Earth Science data transition plan.
